DANCE EXAMS

Dance exams for Jazz, Tap, Classical Ballet, Highland and Hip Hop are held each year in July / August. It is compulsory for all students from level 1 to 6 to participate in exams. Exams not only build confidence and important goal setting skills, but it also gives students a great sense of accomplishment at the completion of their specific level.  At the completion of exams, students will receive a certificate and a written report on their performance. Once students have successfully passed their exams, they then progress to the next level. If a student is not quite ready, this will be up to the discretion of the teacher. Parents will be contacted with these decisions!

END OF YEAR PRODUCTION

We are proud to hold a professional production for our students to perform in annually! This usually takes place in early December and is definitely the highlight of our dancing calendar. Each year, we create a new storyline, write a script, students audition for roles as lead characters and every class learns their own routine to perform in the show! It is highly anticipated by our dance families and the local community, having had sold out seasons for the past 4 years! If you would like your child to be involved in our EOY production, more information will be given upon enrolment.
